Uco Bank & Anr vs Rajinder Lal Capoor on 31 March, 2008
Petitioner pleads and contends that since the charge-sheet dated 15.7.2009
was being issued much after the petitioner took voluntary retirement on
24.7.2008, no departmental proceedings can be initiated after his voluntary
retirement in terms of the impugned charge-sheet. It is also contended and
pleaded that merely because a show cause notice was issued on 14.7.2008
cannot mean that departmental proceedings have been initiated prior to the
WPC 10968/2009 Page 1 of 20
retirement because departmental proceedings commenced only on issuing of
the charge-sheet dated 15.7.2009 and not on issuing of the show cause notice
dated 14.7.2008 as per the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of
UCO Bank & Anr. Vs. Rajinder Lal Capoor (2008) 5 SCC 257.
